Deacon Larry Carter
A person who you wanted to watch basketball with but not play against
Top flight security
The exterminator
He was a committed member of the church
He was a person who helped anyone at any time…
It is better to go to the house of mourning
than to go to the house of feasting,
for this is the end of all mankind,
and the living will lay it to heart.
A funeral is an opportunity to reflect on your life!
Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with your might, for there is no work or thought or knowledge or wisdom in Sheol, to which you are going.
I would like to first set the record straight
We are all heading to the same place! The GRAVE
once you're dead, your ability to act, think, or contribute ends…
#1 How you live your life now is a reflection of where you will live for eternity
You can’t live one way and wake up another way
#2 Larry is not in heaven driving buses, playing dominoes, or playing basketball.
#3 Larry is not looking down at us…
This is why you don’t have time to waste!
Solomon said whatever your hand finds to do, do it with your might!
In order to do that, we first need to understand who we are doing it for.
Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. You are serving the Lord Christ.
You have to change your reason why!
A man didn’t give you the gift, the talent, the passion or the drive. It came from God.
I don’t have to waste looking and waiting for man’s approval.
In order to give all you got…. You have to let go over you past failures.
I can not focus on the right now if I’m stuck looking at the past.
You have to shake it off
You have to get back in the game!
You have to remember I have no time to waste!
No time for drama
No time for negativity
No time for stress
No time to complain
No time to give up!
You were created on purpose for purpose and that is to fulfill God’s purpose
You were created to meet somebody need.
Let me remind you… Knowing that from the Lord you will receive “The inheritance”
Larry worked with all his might but he resting in “The inheritance”
It’s not money
It’s not a new job
It’s not a new house
It’s not a new car
But Eternal life…
One DAY it will all be over!!!!!
Closing……
And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Behold, the dwelling place of God is with man. He will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them as their God.
Pause! we will all live for Eternity somewhere.
With God or separated from God!
